Gilmore shut down the Sun Devil offense allowing only three runs and six hits in seven innings. The sophomore right-hander struck out six and walked two to improve to 9-2 on the season. Sophomore reliever Kodiak Quick sealed the win giving up one run over the final two innings.

ASU junior starting pitcher Jason Urquidez was roughed up for five runs and six hits in just two and a third innings to fall to 11-3 on the season. Freshman reliever Pat Bresnehan was solid out of the bullpen scattering two hits in two and two-thirds scoreless frames.

After being shutout with only three hits in Friday's series opener, the Devils offense again struggled with only six hits. Junior second baseman Josh Asanovich was 2-for-3 with one RBI and a run scored. Junior reserve outfielder Ryan McKenna extended his career-high hitting streak to five games with double down the right field line.

Stanford got off to a quick start building a 1-0 lead on a two-out triple by junior left fielder Danny Putnam.

ASU took its first lead of the series with a two-run second inning. A leadoff double by Jeff Larish and a single by Asanovich set the table for the rally. Catcher Tuffy Gosewisch tied the game with a sacrifice fly to right field and freshman designated hitter Zechry Zinicola drilled a two-out double to center field to score Asanovich from first base.

The Cardinal took the lead for good with another strong two-out rally in the bottom of the second inning. A pair of two-run home runs from shortstop Chris Minaker and third baseman Jonny Ash staked Stanford to a 5-2 lead.

Stanford struck again with two outs resulting in a four-run fourth frame. Putnam singled to shallow left field with two outs to score Minaker and sophomore first baseman John Mayberry, Jr., capped the rally with a three-run homer to left field.

The Cardinal out-hit ASU 13-6 and were led by the three hits from senior right fielder Brian Hall (3-for-4, R). Ash (2-for-5, HR, 2 RBI), Putnam (2-for-5, 2 RBI) and Minaker (2-for-4, 2 R, 2 RBI) also recorded multi-hit games.
